Front Mission Evolved First Trailer

During gamescom 2009, Square Enix announced a brand new addition to the popular mech strategy series Front Mission. Developed by Double Helix, this is the first time that the series has been turned into a third-person shooter. The game is coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC and we've got the first teaser trailer for you to enjoy.

Traditionally a turn-based tactical RPG series, it's going to be interesting to see how fans of Front Mission take to the new direction of Evolved. There's no word on when the game will be finished, but stay tuned to GameSpy for more information soon.

Bryn says: I love the fact that the mechs in the Front Mission universe are called Wanzers (taken from the German name Wanderung Panzer.) It's such a cool name.

I'm not convinced that Front Mission purists will be all that happy to hear that the game is going "shooter" this time around, but to be honest, it's been a while since Front Mission really performed outside of Japan, so perhaps this is a good thing.
